Book Review: Toy Soldiers – Of Monsters and Men Vol. 1

Toy Soldiers takes place in an alternate post World War 2 world. This time, it isn’t the tension between nations that provides the greatest threat. A new, seemingly unstoppable series of god-like creatures descends, wreaking havoc across the globe. Can humanity rise together, or will it fall? I went into this story blind. Based on

Is Summerween the best new holiday?

I’m not a big decorator. I have anxiety of the general variety and OCD. Clutter, even the intentional and beautiful kind, gives me the anxiety itches. My table has one candle and a set a very basic salt and pepper shakers on it. I have a set of interchangeable seasonal prints that go on the

The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It – No Devil’s in This One

This movie did nothing for me. I wasn’t scared; I wasn’t interested. I never gave one single crap. I don’t know if this is a particularly uninteresting outing for the franchise, Rotten Tomatoes rated it as 56%, but I couldn’t get into it. My voice notes are always a mess of snark and judgement, but

When You Give a Cat a Weed House

My oldest and I made the always terrible mistake of killing time by wandering the halls of a Target. Options were limited, and we needed some cleaning supplies.

Annabelle Comes Home: A Trilogy Comes to an End With a Fizzle

The trilogy of demon doll conduits ends with Annabelle Comes Home. Probably. They trot this doll out in every one of these movies and even IRL take her out for the occasional meet and greet. Girly is the cash cow of the Conjuring Universe and they know it. It’s never safe to assume she’s done.

The Curse of La Llorona: The One They Pretended Wasn’t in the Conjuring Universe

The Conjuring treated this one differently. In that, they didn’t bother to tell anyone that it was part of the Conjuring Universe. Technically, you could figure it out before seeing the movie, but since you basically needed Loraine’s psychic powers to do so, I’m not counting that. Since the Conjuring treated this one differently, so

The Nun: The Conjuring’s Big Scary Demon Wins

The Nun was the Conjuring’s big, bad, overarching evil demon. As an audience, we’ve been seeing her throughout the franchise. She’s been built up as the most evil, hardest to defeat of all the terrors in the Warren’s long history of paranormal investigation. The Nun is the one who threatened Ed’s life. By the time
